Synopsis

Once, in the 1920s, Adam Stein was a happy man: a caring husband, the proud father of two daughters, and a celebrated star of Berlin’s vaudeville scene. He was a clown, an entertainer and a magician. Thirty years later he is bereft of all these talents. Adam is now a man without a future, or even a present —a man with a past that, like a black hole, drains him of every scrap of energy and deprives him of his will to live. In order to survive the sadistic watch of camp commandant Klein, Adam is forced to behave, literally, like a dog. Years later, long after the war has ended, Adam is still haunted by the demons of his past.
